Slow to open Word & Excel files when using desktop shortcuts

12-17-2008

Opening up an MS Word or Excel file from a desktop shortcut takes about 10
-30 secs, but if I open the same file by opening up the application first
then selecting the file it opens straight away. Any ideas??

And your Windows Update question is...?
